Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, chairperson of the African Union (AU) Commission, has "unequivocally condemned" the killing of Cameroonian soldiers by the terrorist group Boko Haram in Wulgo, a town in Nigeria that borders Cameroon.



The AU chairperson, in a statement issued late Friday, expressed "deep shock and unequivocally condemned the heinous terrorist attack carried out by Boko Haram on 24 March 2025 against the Cameroonian military in Wulgo, within the Lake Chad Basin."



More than 10 Cameroonian soldiers were killed and 20 others injured after Boko Haram raided a military outpost in Cameroon's Far North Region.



The attack, executed using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), underscores the evolving threats posed by terrorist groups in the region, the statement said.
